My parents live about five miles outside Bath, at the foot of a precipitous climb known as Brassknocker Hill. He studied mechanical engineering at the university, while at the same time running a small vintage restoration business for classic road bikes. This evolved into Temple Cycles. It’s also a bike that’ll handle whatever you throw at it: muddy off-roading, yup; lightweight backpacking, yup; weekend sportive, yup; West Country hill climb, yup.
